Summary

This paper presents the current status and future trends of sensor technologies for food products traceability, specifically for systems devoted to be applied in the cold storage and refrigerated transport of horticultural products. The available monitoring technologies such as dataloggers, TTI, WSN, RFID, and combined approaches are evaluated and compared in terms of dimensions, sensor parameter (temperature, relative humidity, water vapor, ethylene and other gases released during the biological processes of fruit), robustness, reliability, energy autonomy, bandwidth (if applicable), connection, among others. The aim of the study consists in evaluating how these technologies can be successfully applied for traceability of horticultural products and are what the future trends in terms of technical and technological specifications that will guide the development of these systems. It is expected that the increasing use of these systems for food traceability increases food quality and safety, reducing food waste.
